AFE5803 evm shor-circuit problem

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE5803, CDCM7005

Hi,

I'm using AFE5803 evm for my school project.

I set up my evaluation board just as mentioned on page 3/4 of the 5803evm guide, but with the following two differences:

  1. I connect Pin 1&2 of  JP1. I think the pin configuration in figure 1 on  page 3 might be wrong.
  2. I move JP9 to OSC 'cause i have no ADC clock generator in hand.

After powering up, the DC power says it overloads, then i cut off the power and find +5VA and GND of  JP6 short-circuits.

In order to find out where the problem lies, I remove all the jumper caps and two ferrites (FB2/4), so the input power supply is completely kept apart with all the ICs, but the short-circuits still exists. 

Does it means there must be some cracks or deformation inside the board between diffrent layers?

p.s.

another weird thing is, i find CLKBUF_VCC, the power supply of the clock synchronizer IC short-circuits with GND. and i find the VCO  used with CDCM7005 on board conflicts with the one on the schematics (OSC1 on sheet 4 of the schematics) . It should be a 6-pin VCO but it's a 4-pin regular oscillator in fact. I'm very confused about that.
